Don't expect FORD to cover catastrophic transmission failures after flat towing. My regular factory warranty coverage was denied and $6,300 later i had a new transmission bill to pay. NO COVERAGE!
the speed and distance you decide until the transmission burns up. Mine did after after 2k miles of towing always getting a flat tow enabled with an ok on the dash panel. $6,300.00 [not warranted] then a 4K trailer until someone figured this out. read other MANY posting on this forum. You will...
